How to Grow White Shirogoma Sesame

Prepare soil carefully to ensure that the small seeds grow properly. Start indoors six weeks before the last frost, or direct seed a month after the last frost. Soil should be warm before seedlings or seeds are put outdoors. Keep soil moist and fertilize as needed, but avoid overwatering. Control weeds carefully.

In cooler climates, grow under covers or cloches with heat. Can grow in pots or open soil provided the soil temperature is warm enough. This tropical plant is most commonly grown as an annual herb. Start seeds indoors 6 weeks prior to the last frost in cooler climates. If transplanting, start seeds in peat or other biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbances during transplantation.

Harvesting White Shirogoma Sesame

The seeds develop inside pods inside the flowers. Harvest before the seed pods burst open. Discard the pods. Sesame seeds can take a little effort to harvest, but it is well worth it. Pods at the bottom of the plant will ripen first. Cut the stems with the ripe pods and dry them on a flat surface.

Culinary Tips

White sesame seeds have a milder flavor than black sesame seeds, but they are otherwise similar. Use as a garnish or grind into a paste for condiments.
